You don't have to do anything right now, today. There's a saying around AlAnon that's a twist on an old familiar saying..."Don't just do something...Stand there!" Meaning, we don't always have to figure it out all today. You're already doing the right thing. Going to Alanon and counseling. Stay on your path. Your husband will not be able to moderate, but it seems part of their process is to convince themselves they can. Time will tell the truth. I also agree that he is likely down playing his drinking to the counselor. A counselor told me that when an A tells you how much they drink, you can at least double it if you want to get closer to the truth. Don't worry about what he's saying or not saying. Stay focused on the steps you've taken to take care of you.
